LOL. I am from Kona, and I moved back permanently about 2 years ago. I went to college for 5 years in the Inland Empire @ Univ. of Redlands. Spent a lot of time in the OC while I was there, considering how much action I could find race wise down there by the beach.

So I am from Kona, moved to CA, and now back to Kona.

its got a S60 and Strange DS, Ill be getting a built trans soon. Just no time or cash right now.
From what I hear its very uncommon to bust and f-body output shaft and many survive 700+hp without a prob. Other wise the tranny looked good! Tics stage 2 is gauranteed to 700 and has a 1yr warranty using the stock shaft.

+1, thats like building an 800hp turbo engine and running street tires so you don't blow the 10-bolt.
